  1. Mac vs Windows is like Stihl/Husky vs Mitox. Big difference in price, both will do the job... one is much nicer to use and holds value way better. So doesn't end up costing you any more in the long run. Bit like buying a braad new Ifor Williams.
  2. Major hurdles to clear first with the EA. Can't see it would be worth it trying to do it legally.
  3. Nice setup. The Tigergrip is a lovely grab isn't it?
  4. They’ll change their mind soon enough when they get the quote.
  5. Mac here. Would never use Windows
  6. You old had it easy- take all the cash you want, self cert mortgage!! Now here in the South I have to declare (and pay higher rate tax) to afford a half decent house.
  7. Yes, make sure you step back and get the camera angle right so that it shows the top half well. post some photos of the tree also
  8. No issues here. Maybe with the real cheapies- Waitley are the top end Chinese knockoffs, if that's not too much of an oxymoron!
  9. Quick site pic- yes I bleed blue!!
  10. This has been my experience. None of them ever have a written spec.
  11. Poor bugger. Life seems so unfair sometimes.
  12. Standard parish councils I’m afraid. Tender ‘processes’ are a joke considering it’s taxpayers money.
  13. Probably 50% of companies burn this sort of thing at their yard or pay a farmer. It's certainly not a level playing field.
  14. The USA is also the land of strange folk who will wear a big heavy steel helmet and no eye protection whatsoever when felling a tree.
  15. What’s the reason for sale? They didn’t run it long with the tilty by the sound of it.
  16. Wolf are bombproof. Used a 3.5hp one in a pretty industrial capacity for nigh on ten years and only needed a capacitor.
  17. Having just tried the decomp on my 241 for the first time ever, I think a ten year old could start it! First pull too! Bloody brilliant little saw, especially running 3/8picco. Full chisel too if conditions aren't too shitty.
  18. All non autotune saws are the same surely. Pull it on choke till it barks, half choke, it catches, let it run for a few seconds then blip the throttle and rev it up briefly.
  19. As above, but buy ‘waitley’ brand Chinese batteries on eBay. I run the 9ahs in our grinders particularly, and 6ah for other tools. Good value and last well.
  20. Plenty of spares till you get used to it! The standoff guides are useful but I think the kit comes with one. Consumables are much cheaper from China on eBay. You can get extended nozzles which are handy for tight spaces. I also use conical extended nozzles drilled out to 2mm for plasma gouging but thats probably asking too much of a 30 amp set.
  21. Jesus that’s a wet spot for sure!
  22. I don’t mind if she wears her boots to bed. The thigh high type.
  23. Good choice. My mig250 has been faultless and the cut 50 good too. Did 12mm stainless no bother last week. what models did you go for?
